Several extremely alert fans of porting house Westlake Interactive noted an alarming development over the weekend -- all mentions of their latest title in development, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, had vanished from their web site. Specifically, the blurb on the news page which announced their work on this game vanished, and on the Project Status page the game reverted to its former code name, "Hot" project.

Obviously this was cause for alarm for those anticipating the Mac OS version of this Trek-themed shooter, but a call to Mark Adams quickly solved the mystery. It seems the information disappeared at the request of Paramount, still in the final stages of securing the contract with Aspyr.

In any case, Mark assured us that Elite Force Mac is on-track and in active development, and mention of the project should be back on the News and Project Status pages quite soon. Official mention of the game on the Aspyr Media web site is expected in October, after the Aspyr World 2000 media event. Aspyr expects to publish Elite Force for Mac in late Fall/early Winter 2000.
